I'm finally in a place where I can attempt to grow so I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I'm waiting on beans so I have all the time in the world to geek out on growing until they arrive.

Peace, baby.

Geeking out while you wait is a great idea man, welcome to the boards. Most noobs just start with questions w/o trying to read anything on their own, which is what makes the difference between a grow and a good grow, you sound like you're on the right track man. Do your homework first, and you'll be better prepared to handle problems that pop up along the way. To kick you off on your growing quest, here are some links that helped me a lot through my first grow (which i'm still on, btw, check out the link in my sig :))

Thank you Splifted & Dutch Pimp.

I found the Drug-Forums FAQ a few days ago and inhaled it...and it expanded. Lots of great stuff in there; I'm glad I don't have to know it all for my first grow. :)

I've read two online grow guides from end to end. I think I have a good grasp of the basics and that's what I'm going to stick with on my first grow, I think. The bascis. I've read about a variety of techniques; SOG, ScrOG, hydro, aero, and have at least a rudimentary understanding of them. I'm not entirely clear which will be best suited for me once I figure out the basic growing stuff but I have a lot of time to worry about that stuff and there's a lot of places to post questions about specifics.

Thanks again for the guidance, you two. I'm on it.

Peace, Baby
